Having trouble trouble setting password
I've installed BazziteOS successfully on my PC before needing to reinstall it again on a different drive. I've got it installed on one of my other drives, but I'm still running into the same problem, sudo password. As a test I usually just use a basic password like "1" and change it later to eliminate complications since you can't see your password typed and you get asked a bunch of times to reenter it. I understand why Linux does this even though it would be nice If I could turn this off, but besides the point. I get in and set everything up then go into terminal to check my sudo password on this second attempt, and something seems to be wrong.
I'm asked 3 times and I put in 1 each time, and it says the password is wrong. Now, if I can't do "1" correctly each instance as a password then obviously I'm the problem, but I'm 100% certain my password should be 1 and that's what I'm entering. I'm not sure if there is something that I'm not getting on the sudo password setup that's maybe specific to Bazzite, or if there is some bug that my PC is being afflicted with. I really need access to sudo on my Bazzite partition because I'm going to be doing a lot of things that will require it besides just gaming, but due to this sudo issue I can't even get emudeck or decky installed. So, I'd just appreciate some guidance on what I could do to solve this, or if I'm doing something wrong.
Also, I already had to reinstall the OS once on a different drive, and that took me longer to get fixed because of weird drive conflicts on my machine. After trying some things, several days. So I'd like not to have to do that yet again.
